A stage in mitosis in which the chromatids of each chromosome separate and move to opposite poles.
A stage in cell division, after the metaphase and before the telophase.
Stage in cell division in which the chromosomes move from the center plane of the cell toward the poles.
The third stage of mitosis and of each division of ‘meiosis. In mitosis and anaphase II of meiosis the chromatids separate, becoming daughter chromosomes, and move apart along the spindle fibers toward opposite ends of the cell. In anaphase I of meiosis the pairs of homologous chromosomes separate from each other.
The third stage in meiosis and mitosis (between metaphase and telophase), in which there is longitudinal bisection of chromosomes (the chromatids), which separate and move toward their respective poles.
